The utility man joined the Brewers last November via trade from the Tampa Bay Rays. The club platooned him with Jace Peterson in the utility role, and he responded with a solid 118 wRC+ in 160 plate appearances.
He played almost exclusively third base in 2022, but Brosseau has appeared at every infield position plus a handful of games in the corner outfield spots throughout his career.
Brosseau figures to split at-bats with Brice Turang in a versatile bench role next year as part of a soft platoon. He also has options remaining, providing the Brewers with additional roster flexibility.
